Correct answer

  • CPor el lado más próximo al borde de la calzada.On the side nearest the edge of the carriageway.
Explanation

For safety, passengers should get out on the side nearest the edge of the carriageway, because if they get out on the carriageway side they may be hit by a vehicle. Depending on which side you have parked on, the side nearest the edge of the carriageway may be the right or the left. On one-way streets in built-up areas you may stop and park on either the right or the left; on two-way streets or outside built-up areas you may only do so on the right.
